On behalf of the OpenEmbedded, OpenZaurus, Opie and GPE teams, I am proud to present to you the fourth OpenZaurus release based on the BitBake build system and the OpenEmbedded metadata repository. The highlights of this release are: - OPIE 1.2.1 - GPE 2.7 - Cross SDK provided - Native SDK provided - WPA support on all machines - Linux Kernel 2.6.14-rc1 for C7×0 - nearly 3000 source packages which result in 12000 packages to install - Various corrections to keymaps for all machines have been made - Fixed keyboard repeat on c7×0 machines - Suspend/resume issues on collie, poodle, tosa have been fixed - Bluetooth improvements all over the place, especially in the base system - some 802.11g CF cards probably work now - Enlightenment DR 17 images (experimental) This release supports the following Sharp Zaurus models: - collie (SL-5000, SL-5500) - poodle (SL-5600, B500) - tosa (SL-6000) - c7×0 (C700, C750, C760, C860, SL-7500) Due to a lot of problems with 2.4.20 on cxx00 machines we have decided to not release 3.5.4 for those machines. It does not makes sense to release 3.5.4 with crappy cxx00 support and then lose our reputation when some weeks later we could have 3.5.4.1 with proper cxx00 support. You can help to speed up development by donating money and/or devices to our developers. Compared to other open source projects we receive very few donations, although we spend a lot of our precious spare time and deliver lots of good work. So if you are regularly using OpenZaurus, consider donating developers. See the ReleaseNotes for important notes before you install OpenZaurus 3.5.4. Also see Installation for Installation instructions. -- Marcin Juszkiewicz OpenZaurus 3.5.4 Release Manager ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
